doTERRA Melissa
Fresh & Heartwarming
Lemon balm
Botanical name: Melissa officinalis
Country of origin: Bulgaria
Application: internal, external, aromatic
Why Bulgaria?
Bulgaria is a paradise for growing aromatic plants, and the people there possess a wealth of expertise. The sunny, dry climate and the well-drained, sandy soil create ideal growing conditions.
Although Bulgaria was historically a leader in the research, development, and production of essential oils, the industry declined after the communist era for various reasons, primarily due to state subsidies for wheat, sunflowers, and corn. Many farmers replaced aromatic plants with these crops.
This led to a lack of innovation in the field of aromatic agriculture, which inspired us to establish the Esseterre plant in Dobrich. Esseterre collaborates with local farmers in the Dobrich area, and some of the lemon balm is also grown and distilled in southern Bulgaria, where sufficient irrigation is available.
Although Esseterre is owned by doTERRA, it is truly a Bulgarian company, built and run by Bulgarians. Skilled managers, distillers, farmers, and engineers combine their outstanding abilities and a shared commitment to positively impacting their communities.
What does Melissa smell like?
Lemon balm has a fresh, citrusy scent that is both mild and calming. Its aroma is a blend of lemony notes and a light herbal note, creating a refreshing but not sharp fragrance.

Interesting facts about Melissa oil
When/how is Melissa cultivated?
Melissa is a perennial plant that is harvested twice a year: in the last two weeks of June and the last week of August. The oil from the first and second harvests differs in chemical composition and yield. dōTERRA's Melissa is a blend of both harvests.
The plant loves warmth and requires nutrient-rich soil. It grows best in fertile, humus-rich, and loose soil. Insufficient or excessive watering impairs its growth. Light has a positive effect on the essential oil content. Melissa is sensitive to transport, so the fields are located close to the distillery.
Which part of the plant is used for the essential oil?
The green part of the plant is used for the essential oil. It is cut 5-10 cm above the ground, just before flowering, when the oil content and quality are at their highest.
How is the oil distilled?
The oil is extracted through steam distillation. Upon arrival at the distillery, the fresh material is quickly loaded into the stills. The distillation process takes approximately 2.5 hours. Around 10 kg of leaves are needed to produce a 5 ml bottle of Melissa oil.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
